New Japanese Godzilla movie looks epic

News

Ok so the world of Godzilla is getting a bit interesting. Gareth Edwards brought back the franchise in 2014 and that's set to continue in an oblique fashion as Warner Bros reintroduces King Kong with Skull Island and then pits both monsters against each other with Godzilla vs Kong in 2020. Yes that's a real thing.

Of course this all stems from Toho's 1954 original and that studios is getting back into the movie monster business with Godzilla Resurgence later on in 2016. It's a different beast (in every way) from the American versions and the latest trailer shows it's going to be very over the top stuff.

Edwards' Godzilla was pretty light on sightings of the actual creature and Toho's take seems very different. It's more of a classic version of the tale, and looks like a lot of fun.

Godzilla Resurgence is out in Japan on the 29th of July, 2016 and is expected to get some kind of international release in the future. Kong Skull Island is coming in March 2017 with Godzilla 2 set for 2019.
